The Coolest Wii Controllers

One thing the Wii certainly has over its rivals is a fantastic range of peripherals that can really enhance playing games on the console. While most of you probably already have a Balance Board for the likes of Wii Fit and perhaps even a Wii Zapper to aid your shooting in games such as Link’s Crossbow Training, there are plenty of other accessories you can pick up to spice up Wii gameplay.

Wii Fit Shows Chart Stamina

Nintendo’s ever-popular Wii Fit has topped the Wii chart yet again, while placing third in the overall all formats rankings. Mario Kart Wii held onto second place despite competition from the newly released Mario Power Tennis, which debuted in third.

Wii Fit Rival Launching In May

If you’re looking for another way to break a sweat using the Wii and Balance Board, then new Wii Fit rival EA Sports Active could be for you. Targeted specifically at women, EA Sports Active has been developed with the help of fitness experts and, seeing as it’s cheaper than a gym membership, it looks like a pretty cost-effective way to give yourself a health kick.

Due out in May, it’s being billed as an exercise product with a more Western flavour than Wii Fit, and focuses on both the upper and lower body as well as cardiovascular exercises. We think it’s about time the Wii Fit had a rival, although we wouldn’t want to go up against it considering its recent chart dominance. We’ll have more info, screens and some movies of the game for you soon.

Nintendo Serves Up Mario Power Tennis

This Friday sees the release of Mario Power Tennis, which lets you take to the court as your favourite characters from the red plumber’s world. Being a Wii update of an old GameCube favourite, the title allows you to use the Wii Remote to play strokes – much like in Wii Sports Tennis – and to unleash the Power Shots (which are different for each character) that you’ll need to master in order to win.

This is no realistic sports game like Virtua Tennis though. While it does have regular tennis courts it also features gimmick courts – in the Luigi’s Mansion one, for example, you’ll encounter ghosts which trip you up using banana peels. As well as a standard tournament mode, the title offers a series of tennis-themed mini-games including ‘Artist on the Court’, which sees you hitting paintballs to make a picture. Mario Power Tennis is also playable in split screen with a friend and features multiple control types that vary in difficulty, allowing players of all experience levels to get in on the action.

Rock Band 2 Dated For Wii

Music game Rock Band 2 will release for the Wii on April 24th. For the uninitiated, Rock Band allows you to perform in a virtual band by playing different peripherals modelled on real musical instruments (a guitar, drums and a microphone). You have to strum, beat or sing in time to notes that scroll down the screen, as the picture below shows, and it’s a real laugh, especially when played with friends.

When it launches the game will cost £39.99. Standalone guitars will also cost £39.99 and drums £49.99. Or you could buy the pair plus a microphone for £89.99. Just to make things more confusing – or simpler perhaps – you’ll also be able to pick up the game, drums, guitar and microphone together for £109.99. The game comes with loads of songs spanning all types of music pre-loaded on the disc, plus you can download extra tracks from the Rock Band online store.
